Installation

Currently, I can only test Gnome Linux. However it does work for other OS's.
> It is also possible to install with Firefox UI Fix

In Firefox

• Firstly, make sure you are on the latest firefox stable version. ESR & other editions may not work as intended.

1. Visit about:config
   • Search for toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets, set it to true
   • While you're here, you can enable other customizations you may want here
2. Visit about:support
3. In the Profile Directory row, copy the full path
   • May look something like: /home/{username}/.mozilla/firefox/...

Then, in a Terminal

Run each line individually

cd #paste the path you copied before here

git clone https://codeberg.org/Freeplay/firefox-onebar.git chrome

OR, to add it manually:

1. Go to the path you copied before in your file explorer
2. If there is no chrome folder, create one
3. Then, inside the chrome folder, create a file called userChrome.css
   • Copy & Paste the contents of userChrome.css into the file

Restart Firefox, and enjoy :)

Updating

If you used the Terminal Method:

cd #the path you copied before

cd chrome && git pull

If you've added it manually:

1. Go to the path you copied before
2. Enter the chrome folder
3. Copy & paste the contents of userChrome.css into the file

Then, restart Firefox.

Customizations

1. Copy the preference name of the customization you want to enable from the table below
2. Visit about:config
3. Paste the preference name into the search bar
4. Click the plus button at the bottom right

Then, restart Firefox.
